have to say imo the video is very boyband'ish and i kinda cringe when i watch it, still lovin the song tho even with the choir (obviously not as good as the live version!), and agree with an earlier post about parts of the song sounding very like 'my third house'.
also why do they have caleb playing an acoustic guitar in the video when there arent any acoustic guitar parts in the song???
anyways just found this nice acoustic cover of RA on youtube, this guys got skills!

I love this thread! It's really interesting to read so many differing opinions, and some people have picked up on stuff I didn't even notice or give much thought to. I still love it though, someone mentioned the word endearing, which is how I see it. I dont know, maybe it's because of my motherly instincts, I just love those cute kids and how sweet they are with them. Maybe they were trying to go for the Home Movie feel, who knows. I also agree, though, that at the end of the day, it is the music itself that matters, so they could be mincing around in Teletubby outfits in the vid for all I care, as long as the song is great. ![:p](http://i50.tinypic.com/2d7j0pu.jpg) (and I think it is!)

lol, somebody on their lastfm page said: 'so, bono and brangelina sponsored this clip??' ![:p](http://i50.tinypic.com/2d7j0pu.jpg) honestly, if i didn't know they are singing about sticking to where you come from, i'd think the same i guess ![;)](http://i47.tinypic.com/2qd9zzn.jpg) i'm a bit disappointed that you can only see caleb with an instrument (well besides nathan drumming on the table). i always love to watch them making music together. to be honest i'm not very interested in music videos. the music is most important anyways, and the song 'radioactive' is cool.

i personally dont think they will ever please everyyone, when they make a performance video people moan " its just another performance video", yeah its just a video but maybe they where back doing things that they may have done growing up , i think the song is quality , they seem to be ( from what i read ) really happy musically and creating songs the way they want and enjoy. ive been listening to them since 03, they have all gotten better technically and are doin things the way they want and maybe couldnt before!

I forgot your name ![:-[](http://i47.tinypic.com/2v14vg5.jpg) Karma for not being interested in music videos. I usually watch them a couple of times and then forget that songs have videos ![:o](http://i47.tinypic.com/ih2wdf.jpg)

In all honesty... opinions are like aholes everyones got one... I would have given the video a go and if I didnt care for it, I would just refrain from watching it again, if possible. It is the music that truly counts anyway. However at the end of the day... speaking solely for myself, love it or hate it, its a great song and who wouldnt like to be able to see their gorgeous faces prancing around like they do (Caleb in suspenders anyone?) ![;)](http://i47.tinypic.com/2qd9zzn.jpg)

well, then I guess I'm guilty too coz the only thing I like about this video actually is Caleb in suspenders! ![;D](http://i48.tinypic.com/epkhh1.jpg) I find hilarious the part where everyone dances in a group! sooooo embarassing. I agree with Nik and Carrie, the Manhattan video was the first thing that came to my mind when I watched this one . only difference is that this one is staged and that makes it corny to me! it looks like African Child from Russell Brand! I liked the Manhatt video instead. someone said it's weird Caleb is playing acoustic guitar when in the song there ain't one! it's like they told him " hey grab this and pretend to play" , they could have given him a violin at that point. ![:-/](http://i49.tinypic.com/121q4j7.jpg) this makes the video even more manifactured and boyband -stylish to me. ![::)](http://i48.tinypic.com/f45sm.jpg)

After having time to think about the video ..... 1. Those kids doesn't know how freaking lucky they are!!! 2. I think that they had so much fun, they seem really happy. All of them! 3. They all look healthy! 4. The song is amazing. That's all I need ![;D](http://i48.tinypic.com/epkhh1.jpg)

i wonder for clarity if i should explain that what some call suspenders (ie the elastic that goes over the shoulders to keep trousers up) in the UK at least, we call 'braces'...the things that women keep their stockings up with we call 'suspenders' !! so i picture him with stockings on (and maybe heels and a slick of lipstick for good measure ![:D](http://i45.tinypic.com/pnoi.jpg) !!) or maybe on second thoughts... ![;D](http://i48.tinypic.com/epkhh1.jpg)

Definitely, African Child. I gave up on ever having the old KOL sound back two years ago. They want to be arena rockers. Maybe they can do a cover of Def Lepard's "Armagedon It". Between that and all of Caleb's interviews where he insults his fans, I'm done with this band. There are great bands out there that don't make you embarrassed to admit that you are a fan.

Fully...
was this you giving them "one last go" cause if not, why did you even bother? You must not have fully given up if you actually watched it and then came on over here to give your opinion.
Rebecka? Karma when I can for being sweet
and
Jules, the image you put in my head was beyond classic, thanks for clarifying for us in the states, the difference between "braces" and "suspenders"
ps Jules... here "braces" are different things... they can be the metal on your teeth or even for your legs etc

There are great bands out there that don't make you embarrassed to admit that you are a fan. it's just one of those things though, look at U2, sunday bloody sunday to...well everything in the last 10 years ?! i do see how it's hard for people to see them in the same way as before when they've been a fan from the start. but hey ho, it's their choice to make the music/videos they want just as it's our choices to like it or not... it's a shame you feel embarrassed now though...

Shame on me, eh? no no, lets keep it in the family eh ![;D](http://i48.tinypic.com/epkhh1.jpg) matt's cool but leb looks strangely fetching in his braces ![;)](http://i47.tinypic.com/2qd9zzn.jpg) i'm liking your avatar, makes me laugh
